Sirous Smith has lived for centuries, long enough to grow tired of immortality itself. With no mate in sight and nothing left to keep him tethered to the world, he returns to Brew’s home for one final reunion—and a promised end at the hands of his friend Yosef. But Sirous never planned on Tabby.
Tabitha “Tabby” Williams is hiding from a ruthless mother who wants to exploit her powerful gift of sight. Taking shelter in the woods near Brew’s estate, she expects danger from her past…not from a brooding, stubborn vampire determined to die.
When Tabby bursts into the clearing moments before Sirous’s execution, everything changes. One scent—one electric spark—and fate binds them as true mates. Sirous wants none of it. Tabby wants even less. But destiny has other plans.
Between vengeful family, ancient vampire politics, and a stubborn male who would rather argue than admit he cares, Sirous and Tabby will have to decide if they’ll keep running from fate…or run toward each other.
A reluctant bond. A powerful magic. And a love that arrives at the worst—and best—possible moment.
